This past week, we were all sick, and I was able to do very little in the way of work.  The kid was rather well off, or so I thought, because he wasn’t sick sick, just came down with a bit of a cough.  Well, now, he’s rather sick.  He is complaining that his ear is hurting, and he is throwing up.  Of course, that’s not good.  The good part, though, is that when his stomach is upset, he gets rather attached to the idea of having a bucket handy, so that he can be prepared for whatever comes out.

I was still feeling rather off this weekend, and so I didn’t make it to this year’s Atlanta Linux Fest.  That made me quite sad.  Come hell or high water, I’m going next year, seriously.  Well, unless I’m sick again, of course, but what are the chances of that happening two years in a row?  Maybe I oughtn’t tempt fate by asking that question.  Oh, well, I did.

Also:  the weather here is fscking crazy.  I don’t know what is up with all of this weather, but we’ve had more rain in the past couple of weeks than we have had in a year or so, in some (if not most) areas.  Lots of things are closed, including schools, businesses, government offices, and roads.  And many people aren’t staying in their homes, and given the nature of the regular climate here, probably did not have insurance against flooding, so they probably are out most everything.  I can only imagine what that must be like, and I don’t envy those that are looking at that situation.

As far as other things go, I should be able to start working on things again relatively soon, after things return to something that somewhat resembles normalcy.  We’ll see about that.  For now, though, I need to go sit with Mr. Benjamin and hope that he drinks something soon and falls asleep soon after that…
